More and more I am thinking that I was extremly lucky, as I had just come upon an unplanned bit of cash and spent a couple weeks searching for a bass. I really wanted to move up to a 6-string and I can't play a bass with frets, so it's not easy to find something off the shelf. From the moment I saw this bass I think I bought it within 48 hours.
After our yearly family 4th of July jam last weekend, one of my brothers told me that was the best he has heard me sound. It's not clear whether he means my playing or just the quality of the instrument... it must be me, right?
